Suhopolje is a community in the Virovitia and Podravina
County, almost 9000 inhabitants, close to 3000 in the town of the
same name. It isituated some 10 km southeast of Virovitica, on
the main road towards Slatina. The coat of arms is shown
on the County web site: azure on a mount vert a wall with gates
topped with a roofed tower all or. The charges probably
(but I am not sure) represent the castle of the Jankovic family
who obtained it in late 18th centruy. Aroudn that time the name
of the place was Terezovac, latter returned to the original name
Suhopolje. The style of the coat of arms suggest that it
is adopted around 2000 and that there is probably there is a flag
to go with it we shall have to find out about at a latter time.

The web site of the community <www.suhopolje.hr> adds the
info on flag and confirms my assumptions on what the coat of arms
represents. The flag is yellow with the coat of arms in the
middle. The charge is the coat of arms is the pavillion in the
ressidence of Count Jankovic that is the core of the modern town.
The flag image at the web site is ambigous regarding the shade of
yellow, suggesting pale yellow. However the flag in the county
assembly is clearly the usual shade of yellow (see also this
photos at <www.viroviticko-podravska-zupanija.hr/studeni04n.htm>
(around the middle of the page) and <www.viroviticko-podravska-zupanija.hr/listopad03n.htm>
(around the middle of the page) for flags of other
communities/cities in the County, though I have not yet
identified each and every of them).
